NCRI - Political prisoners in Gohardasht, Karaj, in a letter to the head of the Human Rights Council and the Special Rapporteur on the situation of Human Rights in Iran, complained about the shocking confessions of Ali Fallahian, former Intelligence Minister of the Iranian regime on political killings in 1988.

They have called for the establishment of a special committee to investigate the 1988 massacre, in order to bring the perpetrators and perpetrators to account.

Parts of this letter read:

"President of the Human Rights Council

Certainly, you were informed of the confessions of the former Minister of Intelligence (Fallahian); he confessed in slanderous confessions and the sinister laughs of the massacre of prisoners in 1988.

These confessions were so coarse and criminal that it was evident even in the facial expression and reactions of the television interviewer, that to what extent were they criminals and to what extent the TV presenter was surprised ... !!!

He clearly stated that everyone was steadfast and against the regime, ought to be executed !!! .... or ... "They had rebelled in prison," or elsewhere he said no matter who had a gun or not ...

even for advertising or having a newspaper !!! When the presenter asked if the "arrested" were not at least considered captive? ... he reiterated: no.

Your Excellency;

What is clearer and more obvious than such confessions that what happened in 1988 in Iran's prisons was a massacre and genocide ... And we ask you, as the head of the UN Human Rights Council, what else is needed in order for a committee to be formed to investigate this massacre and genocide confessed by all those involved?

Your Excellency;

In this interview, several important points that are constantly emphasized are clear:

The fact that an independent judge and an independent judiciary in this regime are merely ridiculous, and the judge issues the same ruling that he was asked to do, and this is still the case.
The fact that there is no need for someone to commit a crime, it is only sufficient that the death penalty is necessary for the system's survival.

That ... Even the pulse of the rebellion of some of the prisoners, which is considered to be a prison sentence everywhere, can be used to kill all prisoners of that prison and even prisoners of other prisons in other cities, and this is still the case.

That it is not necessary for any material element, spiritual element, and element of law in the commission of a crime, and if someone had intended but had not committed anything (as a material element) again his sentence is execution ... and is still so.

Your Excellency;

The formation of a committee to investigate the massacre in 1988 is necessary not only for the same crimes and prosecution of the perpetrators, but also for the prevention of repeat offenses. To witness this claim, the number of executions and human rights violations in Iran are still catastrophic, as the perpetrators of those crimes were not held accountable or punished and this means impunity for one’s inhumane crimes, therefore, at the end, and again, as the head of the Human Rights Council at the United Nations we urge you to create a committee for special investigation of the massacre of 88 perpetrators and to hold perpetrators of that to account in order for the current violators of human rights norms to see their own accountability in the mirror.

Thank you for all your humanitarian efforts.
